Congrats

My lovely friend got engaged recently and this is the card I made for her and her new fiance.
I based the colour scheme on Tiffany's the jewellers because that's what springs to mind when I think of engagement rings (not that mine came from there!)

I used the Tree Rings stamp from Stampin' Up! which I just love. It's a large background stamp (11.4 x 14.6cm) and I've heat-embossed it here with white powder.
I can see me using this stamp a lot for male cards but also for the rustic look that's in fashion at the moment  -  maybe I'll be making some wedding stationery in the next year?

The 'Congrats' die is by Cuttlebug and the hearts are an old Sizzix die. I used textured card and added just a dusting of ink round the edges (Pool Party by SU to match the card-stock)

Leaf stamps and matching dies are from the latest Crafter's Inspiration magazine.
I used spritzing inks to colour plain white card before stamping the leaves.

Sentiment is a Cuttlebug die.
Card is 7 x 7 inches.

Congratulations

Sentiment and flower stamps are by Woodware (Jane's Script)

SU ribbon slot punch used on the right to thread the ribbons through, I'm wondering whether to untie them and just use a knot rather than a bow?

You can't tell by the photo but there is some stamping on the right hand border (just Versamark so very subtle)
